			<description><![CDATA[&ldquo;Russell A. Farrow Limited, one of Canada&rsquo;s Best Managed Companies for 2009, is thrilled to be a member and supported of the Softech Alliance Network.

Through SAN, we have been able to tell others about our organization and in turn, have learned about other companies and organizations in this area and beyond. The general meetings and special events provide invaluable insights into trends, issues and initiatives affecting both the IT industry and this region. The networking opportunities are not only excellent but having involvement from the University and the College is an added benefit.

We believe that SAN can have a major economic impact on the Windsor/Essex County region over time. This is one of the many reasons Russell A. Farrow Limited is committed to SAN and its efforts.&rdquo;

Russell A, Farrow Limited, Director of Information Technology


There is nothing more powerful then collaborating with peers from the same industry, that are challenged with the same problems that I&rsquo;m challenged with. Together as a team we&rsquo;re able to bounce alternative solutions and ideas to those problems off each other that just isn&rsquo;t possible on your own.

SAN is an amazing opportunity network and learn about other technology based organizations in the region. Next Dimension has already developed new business relationships with other members, and is working to collaborate with, what were competitors.&rdquo;

Adam Davis, President, Next Dimension


&ldquo;The SAN networking events have helped my company to collaborate with local resources to create new opportunities! As a member of SAN it has raised our organization&rsquo;s profile in the market place.&rdquo;

Frank Abbruzzese, President, AlphaKOR ]]></description>
